Here is a small list of Frank Sinatra Hits. It cannot be comprehensive because Frank Sinatra had more hits than any other artist.

1. My Way
2. New York, New York
3. I've got you (Under My Skin)
4. I'll be Seeing You
5. Strangers in the Night

These are just my all time favorites of Frank Sinatra. Leave your list in the comments below and I can make this list grow. For every vote that a song gets, it will move higher in the list. So, make your favorite song go higher or include another song in the list.

Getting Nostalgic with Modern Talking


I just bough a box set of Modren talking and I must tell you that it was like my youth was back all over again. Just to hear the rythmic beat of their songs made my feet thump. How we forget the great music that they gave us in the era when music was pure and there was no hate or lust in the lyrics. Unlike the singers these days the artists back then were not interested in seducing us or arousing our racial/sexual emotions. All they wanted to give us was pure music. Pet Shop Boys, Moderan Talking and Kraftwerk come to mind as hugely popular groups in the small third world city that I grew up in.
Even Madonna was not so "in your face" back then. sigh... I wish this hip hop madness would end and we could have the beat back...
Thank you Modern talking for bringing back these memories for me and keeping a part of me young forever...
